Laptop advice

[anonymous-user]

Start my teacher training on Tuesday, looking to buy a decent laptop that will see me through the year, but no nothing about computers. now. spoke to a few folk and they say I will need minimum Intel 5 processor and 256gb whatever that means. This seems to put me in 500-1000 quid plus sector. I like the two in one jobs and am reading wonderful things about the huawei notebook X, everything a MacBook is but cheaper. Lenovo do similar but my limited knowledge suggests the Chinese product has more spec and bang for buck, but it is a grand. I don't mind paying for something that will stand me in good stead for the future. Thoughts?

I would like thin and light so I can nip about on my bike!!

Does it have to be new? Windows or Mac?

[anonymous-user]

Yes, would prefer new because I don't HAVE a load of cash so it will have to be on credit card or from an online retailer with a credit facility


I know literally nothing about computers technology etc, never had too, but I think windows would be most compatible with most schools and universities?

Ok, sorry for the 20 questions but do you know if you can get an educational discount from some vendors? Other students or you college may know. I'm pretty sure Apple offer it.

I think the first step is to find out if you should be going for Windows or Mac.
